What TSMC is paying isn't good for the Phoenix area. It would be OK for the Columbus-Newark area where the Ohio Intel plant is supposed to be built, but not what I would consider attractive for the level of skill they're going to want.
Sounds about right.
TIME TO BRING IN THE BROWNIES!!
Columbus? I thought the Intel plant was going to be on the other side, between Cincinnati and Indianapolis?
I'm not sure what they're paying, but certainly Intel is going to attract the best industrial engineers just due to name recognition (and the fact that Ohio still has legitimate elections .. and that freezing snow is better to a lot of people than death weather summer).
...but we really need both and them some. More competition in high density silicon manufacturing is always a good thing. Finding people who have the background to work in these factories and move to the middle of nowhere for the payout is another issue entirely.
No, it's in the New Albangme area, which is between NE Columbus and Newark on Ohio 161.
Intel isn't in good shape right now, and they've already said they're only going to manufacture if demand requires it. I suspect they'll be like Honda, they'll have 2-300 core people that actually work on the production floor and 3000 temps - if they actually start running.
